President Yoweri Museveni has called on Ugandans to protect the peace and stability ushered in by the National Resistance Movement (NRM) government and to consolidate the country’s progress through hard work, wealth creation and vigilance against external and internal threats to Uganda’s development.
The President made the remarks today as he concluded his campaign trail in the Bugisu Sub-region with a grand rally for Mbale City and Mbale District, held in Mbale City.
President Museveni said the NRM’s greatest achievement over the last 40 years has been establishing enduring peace across Uganda, which he attributed to the Movement’s rejection of sectarian politics.
The President added that this peace has enabled Uganda to build strong national institutions such as the army, police, judiciary and service commissions—all anchored on patriotism and professionalism.
He identified development as the second major contribution of the NRM, noting that it encompasses both economic and social infrastructure like the extensive rehabilitation and construction of roads, electricity expansion, and access to water as key enablers of growth in Bugisu.
President Museveni said the government is prioritizing water for production and irrigation to support commercial agriculture, citing ongoing projects such as Namatala Irrigation Scheme and Nakusi Solar-Powered Irrigation Scheme, alongside the Wabukhasa Communal Valley Tank and Wabukhasa Solar Irrigation System that already serve thousands of farmers.
President Museveni added that rehabilitation of the Tororo– Mbale– Kampala– Gulu– Pakwach railway line is ongoing, aimed at improving transport efficiency and boosting trade.
